Bug#243590: kdm is segfaulting on start
Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.2.1-1
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
Justification: renders package unusable
I'm not sure exactly what changed that caused this behaviour. When
kdm is started, X will start for just a moment, but before the greeter
comes up, it will crash all the way back to the console and not
restart X. Checking syslog shows an entry for kdm saying:
Abnormal termination of greeter for display :0, code 0, signal 11
I have two machines behaving this way now. It happened after a recent
KDE upgrade, but unfortunately a large number of packages were
updated. I can get you the exact list from the logs if you think it
would be useful.
